2021 Lincoln Corsair vs. Its Competition

2021 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring
Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

The 2020 Lincoln Corsair competes in the cutthroat class of luxury compact crossovers, and there are many good choices.

The BMW X3 is a solid pick; we like the base turbo-4 and the way it drives.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC is a classy pick with dressy curves.

Its interior and exterior were lightly redone this year to be a little smoother and more refined.

The Acura RDX has a competent turbo-4 and 10-speed that’s engaging to drive, even though we’re not as sold on its infotainment.

The Lexus NX offers a hybrid-powered option, although its interior is a little cramped.

The Cadillac XT4 is also a competent performer, but the interior falls down in base versions.
